You're looking for a verb which might mean "To be obsequious," actually. Just for others' clarification.

Definitions of obsequious include the following:

  • bootlicking: attempting to win favor from influential people by flattery
  • attentive in an ingratiating or servile manner; "obsequious shop assistants"

Off-hand, I'd say "to obsequiate," but that doesn't appear to the a word as of yet.

Alteranatively, you could use "to fawn." It means about the same thing.

Fawn, Verb : "to seek notice or favor by servile demeanor"

"Syncophantize" is probably a better fit.
