One of my clients is 60 days behind on their invoice and keeps stalling with the same vague promise to pay soon. I don't want to be a jerk or ruin the relationship, but I need to get paid. How long do you usually let a client get behind before you stop doing work for them?

I’m an introvert in strategy consulting, working in US, born in India. I find it difficult to host client meetings - how to drive conversation, fill in the pauses, and help drive the group move towards next steps consensus. It’s not that I don’t know how, it’s that I doubt myself, and my language skills. I see some other SC/Ms just repeating what others said, and just talking too much of what’s already known - and they are appreciated. How do I reach a stage where I am able to do this better?
