Celebrating Talent, Commitment, and Culture at Beanstalk

With our second consecutive Great Place to Work accreditation under our belt, 2025 has already been a big year for Beanstalk. But beyond the accolades, we know that what makes our business truly special is the team behind it – the people giving it their all, day in, day out, to generate meaningful results for our clients.

This month, we’re proud to turn the spotlight on two members of the team whose journeys at Beanstalk speak volumes about our values; our Sales Director, Roger Woodall, who marks 11 years with the business, and Edward Mahon, a stalwart member of the telemarketing team, whose tenure approaches a decade.

From the Sea to the Sales Floor: Ed Mahon’s Path to Telemarketing Success

Ed is no stranger to big transitions. From serving in the US Navy across five commands, to DJing in Atlanta, to production directing for Warner Bros, his diverse background has given him the people skills and instincts that make him a natural in the world of telemarketing.

Ed thrives in his role at Beanstalk, where he’s able to put his boundless energy and outgoing personality to good use. Beanstalk cultivates a culture where you’re encouraged to go the extra mile and to manage your time. Team members are trusted to do their job well, and that trust leads to real success.

“I love working with companies and seeing them grow when they win customers that I’ve got them into.” Ed says. Amongst Ed’s favourite campaigns, a few stand out, but if you ask him what he likes best, Facilities Management and Technology campaigns are his preference.

Overcoming Obstacles

Even the most seasoned telemarketers face hurdles. For Ed, a common challenge comes when the right Decision Maker isn’t immediately clear. Sometimes, there are multiple job roles that might have overall Decision Making responsibility, and he really has to work to draw the Gatekeeper out – but that’s part of the skill!

Support from Beanstalk plays a big part here.

“The Account Managers are incredibly hands-on. My feedback is always heard, and if something isn’t working, we pivot. While I’m focused on getting the lead, they’re evolving the messaging to give me the tools I need to succeed. It’s a real collaborative effort.”

Roger Woodall: A Decade of Delivering Results

Meanwhile, at the helm of Beanstalk’s own new business function is Roger Woodall, our Sales Director, who has successfully piloted Beanstalk for the last 11 years.

Roger’s journey in sales started aged 18 as a telemarketer, 20+ years ago! Roger rapidly worked his way up the ranks, into sales management, and then into a Sales Director role.

Beanstalk is the third telemarketing agency he’s worked for and, in his words, is by far the best – which is reflected in the length of his tenure.

Captured by an informal internal survey, Roger stated that the most enjoyable part of his role is the variation.

“One minute I’m helping an 28-year-old marketing manager with their lead generation needs, and the next, I’m presenting to a board of directors. And I just love the world of telemarketing; I never get bored of helping our customers understand how it can help them generate high quality sales leads”.

We’re proud of the culture we’ve built, and even prouder of the people behind it.

Here’s to a great place to work – and even greater people to work with.
