Collecting Payment

I'm just wondering about collecting payment. You mentioned getting the total all upfront. How do you get the client to trust that they'll like working with you and the design you're going to do for them in order to give you a huge lump sum up front? Shouldn't there be milestones to go through and you collect payment along the way. Say they put a deposit down. Then once they receive the drawings and they're ready to move forward, another lump is paid. Then the project starts and another lump is paid etc... Wouldn't this be a way for the consumer to really trust you and your work vs. taking the risk?
