Meaning
"Now you're talking" means "Yes, that's a much better idea." You say it when someone changes their suggestion or offer into something you really like. The word "now" matters: it compares this idea with the last one. Before, the other person was saying things you didn't care about. Now they're finally talking sense.
It is casual and cheerful, a thing friends, family and relaxed coworkers say. It can sound a bit like a salesperson or a sports fan, which is part of the fun. Avoid it with a new boss or a client unless the mood is already light. If you want the same idea more politely, "That sounds much better" works anywhere.
