buy in

Accept and support

Buy in has two main senses.

As a verb phrase, to buy in means to purchase a stake or position: We decided to buy in before prices rose.

The noun buy-in refers to agreement or commitment to an idea or plan: We need buy-in from all departments before proceeding.

Getting buy-in means securing support or acceptance, especially from stakeholders who must cooperate for something to succeed.
