Loosen your tie and get down to business
You had the "loosen your tie" part right, but I think the second half calls for a less literal translation.
Another, more literal, option would be "Loosen your tie and close the deal"

loosen the tie, roll up the sleeves, and get to work!
I know "roll up the sleeves" is not in the context but it wouldn't be a bad idea to include it in my opinion.
Time to loosen the tie, roll up the sleeves, and get to work!
