Paul E Skidmore III is a sales and account management professional based in Tampa, Florida. His career has been shaped by years of customer-facing experience, continuous professional training, product education, and a determination to keep improving regardless of setbacks.

Born and raised in Tampa, Skidmore grew up in an active household where sports and community were important parts of everyday life. After completing high school and attending college, he continued his education through professional training as his career developed.

Skidmore spent nearly 15 years working as a bartender throughout Tampa. The hospitality industry provided extensive experience communicating with different personalities, understanding customer needs, building relationships, and remaining dependable in fast-paced environments. During the later years of his hospitality career, he also began working as a sales contractor. He initially gained sales experience in a call-center environment before eventually branching out independently.

Today, Skidmore’s professional interests center on sales and account management. He places particular importance on developing comprehensive product knowledge and remaining accessible to the people he works with. With technology constantly changing, he believes professionals cannot rely solely on what they already know. Instead, they must continually study new information, understand evolving products, and improve the way they communicate with customers.

Follow-up is another important part of his approach. Skidmore uses reminders and structured plans to stay accountable to immediate responsibilities and longer-term goals. He views setbacks as opportunities to learn rather than reasons to stop pursuing an objective.

For Skidmore, success is ultimately about continued growth and making a positive difference for others. His children remain a major source of motivation, and he places significant value on becoming a better person, parent, and professional over time.

Outside of work, he enjoys collecting sports cards and sneakers, volunteering at his children’s school, supporting charitable causes, and spending quality time with his family.
