Warren Buffett has a negotiation trick that’s so simple, yet so effective: Make the deal a win-win by aligning incentives. He structures deals where both sides feel they’re getting value, removing friction and speeding up the close.

One of his go-to strategies?
"I want you to name the terms, and I’ll name the price." This builds trust and ensures both parties walk away happy.

Whether you're negotiating a business deal or just making a tough decision, remember—mutual benefit always wins.
