About Ryan Jacob

I’ve spent the past 20+ years building sales engines, closing big deals, and developing teams that know how to win. Now, as President at GRA Services International, I help utilities and telecom providers avoid costly replacements by offering innovative structural repair solutions for utility poles and other assets, without taking lines out of service.We serve the folks keeping the lights on and the lines running: electric co-ops, municipalities, telecom providers, fence installers, and more. Whether it’s wood rot, lightning, or a runaway truck, we help strengthen and restore what others might replace, saving up to 90% in the process.I lead with a servant mindset, backed by systems thinking and Sandler training, and I’ve never met a spreadsheet or sales playbook I couldn’t make better. At GRA, I’m driving growth by expanding markets, refining sales processes, and delivering measurable value to clients across the country.When I’m not talking utility structure integrity or coaching sales reps, I’m either mentoring future sales pros at UCO, serving on the Oklahoma Professional Sales Association board, or tending to a brisket on my Traeger. Reach out if: • You’re responsible for utility pole installation or maintenance and want a smarter alternative to replacement. • You like talking scalable sales strategy, outbound systems, or Sandler philosophy. • You’re a fellow BBQ enthusiast who believes meat is a love language. r•••••@graservices.com
