Bribes work: When trying to alter behavior you try to set up the win/win balance. They can ignore your wishes and win to maintain the old pattern, or concede to your desire and win the prize offered. How or what you use as a bribe is up to you. Asking them what they would consider something worth working for is one way to find out.
