I agree be a better parent;
Parenting typically utilizes rewards, praise, and discipline or punishment as tools of behavioral control. Most child development experts now agree that corporal punishment is not an effective behavior modification tool, and many parents have adopted non-physical approaches to child discipline. In some jurisdictions, corporal punishment (e.g., spanking or whipping) has been prohibited by law.
"Attachment parenting" seeks to create strong emotional bonds and avoids physical punishment, with discipline being accomplished through interactions recognizing a child's emotional needs. The term "child training" implies a specific type of parenting that focuses on holistic understanding of the child. The "Taking Children Seriously" philosophy sees both praise and punishment as manipulative and harmful to children and advocates other methods to reach agreement with them.
Parenting fundamentals:
Love
Consistency
Structure
Motivation
Accountability
Discipline:
Time-out
Parental supervision

Oh shoot, I was ready to make you an offer.
Ok, the boy is easy. Commandeer the video game controller until he gets it done. Girls can be harder unless she already talks on the phone a lot or likes music, tv, whatever. It's just making it cost them something when they don't do it.
But seriously, bribery is so much easier. I once paid my teenage son $50.....I set up a plan for him to do a major overhaul on his room. I gave him garbage bags and boxes and offered set amounts of cash for each one he filled. He marked some as trash and some as donate. The boxes he decided to keep cost him. It was so worth it. He had two small boxes of keepsakes and one heck of a clean room. And I didn't have to get a tetanus shot to go in and do it myself.

Help them with their homework. Show some interest and they will too. You'll like it if you get involved. You'll like your kids more too. Also, give them plenty of hugs. Touching them in a good way is not replaceable. You'll be so glad you did.

Haha..I thought you were going to ask how to actually sell your children =P
Well, what you need to do is set consequences. If they don't get it done on time, ground them or something!
Trusttttt me. It works.

Tell them they can't watch TV or have their friends over until their homework gets done...
