Macbeth manages to persuade the murdurers by using blackmailing. He basically tells them that unless they help him he will make their lifes tough.

Macbeth persuades the murderers to kill Banquo and Fleance by telling him that Banquo was the reason that they have suffered all along. All the problem that cost them, was because of Banquo and not Macbeth himself, he is trying to explain that he was not with Banquo and he was Banquo dead because it is his enemy just like Banquo is their enemy. Macbeth also explains to the murderers that he cannot kill Banquo, although he could with his majestic power, they both have the same friends, and he does not want to make them his enemy.
Macbeth wants to kill Banquo so badly he has to work hard to convince the murderers to kill Banquo. He has to use blackmailing to convince the murderers to kill him.
Markus, Macbeth says that Banquo has killed their opportunities to be in a better place. "Know, that it was he in the times past which held you so under fortune, which you thought had been our innocent self." (3, 1, 77-79) Then he dares them, "Do you find your patience so predominant in you nature, that you can let this go?"
Citation for my last quote (3, 1, 86-87)
I agree with Sachi about Macbeth persuading the murders to kill Banquo anf Fleance by telling them that their opportunities about something better is lost.
