At the end of the day your payment terms are part of the agreement. So if
you tell them firmly that you want paying within x days, then when they get
paid isn't your concern. They have chosen to give the client 30 days - Thats
their problem not yours!

However in reality its rarely that simple. Perhaps you could demand a
percentage upfront and the rest once theyve received payment?
