“Don’t all clap at once!”
“Stunned you all into silence” is my go to. If that doesn’t get a laugh I walk out of the room.
Gave up caring a long time ago. They mostly don’t know what they want anyway.
Shout at the top of your lungs “WELL?”
"Hello???"
If no response your account person should take a beat and then say “Let us know if you need time to process the work and discuss internally. Happy to answer any questions or address and comments you have now. We built out the schedule and need your feedback by xx date so we can address any revisions in time to stay on track.”
Clients don’t know what they want. So, ask them singing “So tell me what you want, what you really, really want”. They probably will answer “I wanna really, really, really wanna "zig-a-zig", ah”. Everybody will laugh.
Directly ask for feedback. Or keep talking. Don’t let the silence sit.
“Does anyone have any questions”
“Would you like me to go back to X”

I/we always establish off the hop during the agenda whether or not we want jerk reaction feedback in the room or if we want them to take everything away and consolidate (or both, depending on the client). This sets up their brains to be prepared to talk once we hit the summary slide. If we want feedback in the room and there’s still crickets, I’d give it a beat then just hand over the pres to our account person to go over next steps/timeline.
Pro
That should say “knee jerk reaction” but they can be jerk reactions sometimes too I guess.
Start crying and announce your retirement
“I think you’re on mute!”
“Thoughts?”

Maybe juggling?
Thanks for all the advice and funny responses
