I agree to NEVER sound desparate as this will be a sign that they can grab you by the balls. Excuse my french :) Clients know that sound of desparation in your voice just as business people know that sound of desparation in a client’s voice.

You could say, "So, would you like to get started?" or, "If this sounds good to you, then let's get started. " Key point - you must have outlined something for them to say "Yes" to. You should be the one asking the client to accept your offer instead of waiting for them. They may just get in question mode looking for ways to say no, but are basically ready to go.

Definitely following the track of being prepared to walk away if their terms become too stringent. We'll see how it works out- anyway thanks for re-inforcing 'what we already knew' here.
