On The Level

1 Corinthians 9:19-23 (New International Version)

¹⁹Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. ²⁰To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. ²¹To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. ²²To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. ²³I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

Here the apostle Paul is not saying that we are to be something we’re not, to be fake.  Not at all.  The interesting thing about this is that Paul was a Jew, was under the law, was a Roman citizen (not under the law), and self admittedly weak (2 Corinthians 12:9-10).

This passage is really about relating to the person where they are at.  While introducing someone to our opportunity we should take a similar approach.  Ask yourself where is this person?  Are they struggling with health, finances, or time?  What is their background?  Are they sales people, teachers, or an engineer?  What are their interests?  Do they like sports, computers, or nature?

By finding a common ground between you and your prospect you are creating a comfortable setting.  People listen to people they are comfortable with.  Understanding where people are is the key to understanding their challenges.  Who do you know in this world that could use more money, more time, better health, and pay less in taxes?

Find out where they are at.  Be on their level.  Offer solutions to their problems.
