Aaron Norris Consulting

I’ve closed hundreds of millions in B2B revenue over the last 14 years — including 6 at Amazon — but none of that matters if you’re burning out, plateauing, or playing small.

I created a new model—one that lands new clients, scales revenue, builds real wealth, and fuels a life you actually want to live. There is no hustle hard, no fluffy methodology, just clarity, mindset, execution, and winning the right way.

Now I work with founders, leaders, and top performers who are done chasing and ready to dominate — in business, sales and life.

Sales success shouldn’t cost you your sanity.

Early in my career, I chased deals with no strategy or philosophy.

I was reactively trying to "close" everyone and anything, thinking I was doing everything that looked like success — but the results were mediocre.

Then, everything changed when I stopped trying to do it all myself and started building, inspiring and leading teams (most recently at AWS) to sell 6, 7, and 8-figure deals.

Since then, I've coached top leaders and performers across the UK, US, UAE, and Singapore.

I'm the author of Sales Life — a blueprint to building a successful sales career without sacrificing your health, time with your family, or life.

Today, I help high-performing sellers, sales leaders, and CXOs in B2B tech do three things:

1. Win career-defining deals
2. Lead with clarity, calm, and impact
3. Build systems that scale execution and align with their personal vision

This isn’t theory. This is what works in the real world — with the receipts to back it up.

I've worked directly with sellers and leaders at global brands including AWS, Salesforce, Daemon, Splunk, Sayari and Elastic.

“Aaron helped me lead my team more effectively and instil best practices that completely changed how I perform. The results speak for themselves: 330% of quota achieved, President's Club & Top Performance awards, and a 7-figure mega deal closed."
 — Major Public Sector Account Executive, Cybersecurity

“Aaron has really helped us rethink the way we drive our revenue. He's helped us grow a strong pipeline and confidence in enterprise sales."
 — Chief Growth Officer, Cloud Tech Consultancy

"I've worked closely with Aaron over the past 12 months. Together, we landed a 7-figure new logo and secured my dream role — but more importantly, I started thinking and operating at a completely different level."
 — US East Enterprise Account Executive, GenAI Platform

Here's what I offer:

✔ 1:1 coaching for the 1% of sellers and sales leaders
✔ Strategic consulting and team coaching for B2B sales orgs
✔ Creation and embedded sales systems that grow with your team, not around them

If you’re ready to lead better, sell smarter, and build a career (and life) that actually fits — let’s chat.

Still don’t understand why more Ent AEs and Sales Leaders aren’t using this…

Would be my #1 ask of the business if I were still an AE.

And if they said no?
I’d probably use it anyway and look forward to explaining how I hit the top.

Caught up on this golden 20 mins with Nate Nasralla and Peter Sheehan (VP @ Informatica) early this morning.
Easily some of the most relevant content for enterprise sellers I’ve watched this year.

Ps. this isn’t a sponsored post

Link to the recording: https://lnkd.in/eKShTVkb

“Oh… this isn’t just another sales rep.”

That’s what the SE told him she'd witnessed as they debriefed over airport beers.
And in ent sales, that realisation is a breakthrough moment...the exact second you know you’ve found a new level.

An Enterprise AE I’m working with secured an exec meeting with a PE-backed  software company trying to migrate a huge legacy customer base to more profitable SaaS products.

He didn’t lead with a product.
He didn’t talk features.
He didn’t try to “get to the demo.”
He didn’t do anything they’d expect from an AE.

He led with an executive, business-level point of view on their transformation... a narrative about their pressures, their economics, their next 5 years.
No slides.
Laptop stayed in the bag.

And the room responded instantly:
the entire mood change
They leaned in (he saw their physical posture change, and he knew he had their attention)

He held 90 minutes with an SVP who normally declines sales meetings
His predecessor never even got close to meeting them

This kind of approach didn’t just help.
It elevated him.
It changed who he was in that room.

This is the unlock most AEs never experience
Most won't even brave it

When your business perspective becomes the value…
you stop being “a seller”
and start being the person executives wants to listen to.

Executives don’t lean in for bits of tech.
They lean in for people who understand their world
and who can help architect a future of growth (the one they desire)

If you want to get to the 7/8-figure wins:
Ditch the decks.
Stop selling products.
Start offering perspective.

Someone wise (and undoubtedly wealthy) once said:
“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is today.”
They were right.

Every Nov/Dec, I slow down.
Look up.
Decide what next year will look like before it begins.

I know the big leaps I’ll make starting in January.
Always did, back when I was selling (and closing Q4) too.

Most don’t.
They crawl exhausted to the finish line with underwhelming results,
Then act surprised when January feels like another mountain to climb.

By the time they’ve found their spark again,
They’ve already lost a month.
And the year starts in chase mode.

You don’t start the work in Q1.
You collect the compound interest of what you built in Q4
The prep you did while no one was watching.

Next quarter’s already being written.
Make sure it’s you with the pen.

Financial Planning and Analysis Manager

B2B & Sales Finance Manager

Financial Planning Analyst

KPMG UK

Currently undertaking an assistant manager role within the audit department at KPMG in Manchester working across both external audit and internal audit roles c50/50.

Assistant Audit Manager

In 2011 I joined KPMG on the Graduate Scheme within Internal Audit (IARCS) department. With the role I was required to complete 3 years training to become an Qualified Chartered Accountant (ACA) with ICAEW. 
Shortly after joining KPMG I made the decision to undertake external audit roles along side the internal audit work. This gave me an invaluable insight into the financial side of statutory audits and as a result now split my time half and half between internal and external audit work.

In 2014 I became a fully qualified Chartered Accountant with the ICAEW.

Audit Assistant

The Co-operative Group

During my temporary job at the Co-operative I worked on the licensing department. The job role required application and management of premise licenses and personal licenses to stores and individual managers in their stores throughout the UK. The job demanded organisation, quick thinking, tracking, problem solving and cooperation from all team members which is crucial to the smooth running of the department. The Co-operative was undergoing a name change which required all licenses to be re-issued within a deadline. We worked efficiently as a team in order to create a resourceful environment in which to meet given deadlines.

Licenses Assistant

Lend Lease

Throughout University holidays and after gaining my degree I undertook numerous roles at Lend Lease on a temporary basis. I worked at Lend Lease on various contracts for 3 years undertaking roles such as; administrative assistant, receptionist, HR assistant and legal assistant.
During this time I built up a strong relationship with many of the employees at the company resulting in a 2 week temp contract escalating into a 3 year intermittent role.

This allowed me to save for a planned 3 months trip to South America before I began my career at KPMG.

Various roles

Earning over £100k? You’ve got 1 week left.

If you earn over £100k, so think salary, commission, dividends, capital gains, bonuses, basically any other income streams... this is your reminder from me to you. 

Get your 2024/25 tax sorted now.

My deadline for new clients just around the corner. 

This is so I can guarantee enough time for HMRC code turnaround (pigeon post, don't we know it), prep, review and submission before the January deadline.

Get it off your plate now so December is all hols not HMRC. 😉
