Dont Shoot The Messenger
Hi, I'm Chris Ball, and welcome to my podcast, "Don't Shoot the Messenger."
My no-nonsense approach to building wealth and scaling businesses comes from real experience, not theory. I’ve built an international financial planning company with $3.3bn assets under management. I have coached top performers and seen what works (and what doesn’t) up close.
This podcast is for the ones who are done with fluff:
- The high earners who still feel broke
- The entrepreneurs are burning out trying to chase growth
- The ambitious professionals who are starting to question the game they’re playing
- And anyone who’s beginning to realise that more isn’t always better
I’m not here to coddle. I’m here to be honest.
You might not like everything I have to say, but I’m not here to be liked.
I’m here to help you get clear, get focused, and get real results.
All I ask is: Don’t Shoot the Messenger.
This is a Financial Planner Life Production 🎬

Why Sales Is NOT a Dirty Word in Financial Services
In this episode of Don’t Shoot the Messenger, Chris Ball and Sam Oakes dive into the REAL truth about sales, especially in financial services.
Chris Ball shares his personal sales journey, from being terrible at selling to building a £250 million+ business through relentless prospecting, learning from mistakes, and developing a simple, repeatable sales process.
We cover:
- Why sales isn’t a “dirty word” (especially in financial advice)
- Common mistakes new advisors make with selling
- The art of building trust without being pushy
- How to handle objections (before they even come up!)
- Prospecting, follow-ups, and booking more meetings
- The power of process and why structure beats winging it
- Why some people are naturals at selling, and why it doesn’t matter if you’re not
- Whether you’re a financial advisor, entrepreneur, or just someone who wants to improve their sales skills, this episode is packed with practical insights, funny stories, and brutally honest lessons.
