After understanding the basics of influencing people, you want to get down to business and make them be influence by your ideas, proposals, offerings or get them to work.
You can target their concerns, such as monetary, emotional, explicit and implicit benefits and reward them accordingly.
However, you can also use the direct opposite of the list to influence them to work.
We advise you to avoid doing as it will hurt you in the long run.
You've got a couple of options to start with in influencing your colleagues.
Apply them in a balancing manner.
Do not overuse any one of it as they may either take advantage or end up developing resentment in the office.

1. Influence them positively using tangible benefits - This directly targets the concerns of your colleagues.
   They can be salary-related, off-day related or bonus-related benefit.
   Of course, at times it is not possible as you may not be the approving authority for giving out cash or time offs.
   (That is where your influencing skills on your boss come in!)
2. Influence them positively using implicit benefits - Buy your colleagues favours such as gifts or cakes.
   Treat them a meal or buy them some cappuccino to boost them up.
   This shows you care for your staff and will motivate them to work for you.
   Allow free play of work in the office.
   Your colleagues appreciate the freedom.
   Also, implicit benefits may be allowing your colleagues to go off early if there are nothing major going on for the day.
   
3. Influence them positively that they will benefit from your proposal - This will target the WIFM (What's in for Me?).
   Although it may you're your colleague some time to work on your proposal, but he knows that he can reap the benefit from it and will put in effort to it as well.
   With something he can benefit from, he will willingly put his share of effort into your proposal.
   
4. Influence them negatively using negative consequences - The other end of using positive influence is the use of negative factors to make your colleagues work.
   You can consider this as using threats.
   You deprive them from the basic needs.
   Example, "if you do not complete this work by today, you will not be allowed to take leave for the subsequent months".
   You influence those using negative consequences of their actions.
   

We highly recommend positive influences as this will motivate them to work harder for you in the long run.
This encourages appreciation and trust between your colleagues.
We do not recommend using negative influences as this will degrade their motivation and trust in you.
A prolonged negative influenced work culture that the management is thriving on, the bigger the desire for the employee to tender his resignation.
