I've set up and instance to allow ssl connections as per this article:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189067.aspx

I've left the 'ForceEncryption' option set as 'no' due to logistical issues. (We need encryption from one source, but not necessarily other sources)

I plan to set up a mock up SSIS job to test with the client's certificate with the option to 'force encryption protocol' then again without it. If the data will transmit under both conditions, I think I'm good from a client perspective.

Is there any way to verify that the encryption is working though? Any way to verify that the data is encrypted?

You can check for encrypted connections with this query:

SELECT  *
FROM sys.dm_exec_connections
WHERE encrypt_option = 'TRUE' ;

You can also monitor the data packets sent across the network with the help of Netmon tool. This tool is available at sysinternals site.
