Filip Keuppens is the Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing at Pickle Juice® Sport. Having nothing to do with cucumbers, the innovative brand uses a proprietary grain and blend of vinegar that blocks the nerve signals that initiate cramping. Pickle Juice® Sport has highly researched and study-backed benefits—and it’s just the kind of no-spin, real deal, game-changing product that Filip loves to bring to market.
Before joining Pickle Juice® Sport, Filip was the Director of Sales for 20th Century Fox and a Key Account Manager for Warner Home Video. Outside of the office, he’s the Director of Rugby at the Dallas Rugby Football Club and 7s Competition Commissioner at the Red River Rugby Conference.

Filip talks about a big challenge he faced in his work and his advice to fellow entrepreneurs on bringing a product to market
After starting a new business, most entrepreneurs come to realize that having a great idea or concept isn’t quite enough to be successful. Soon enough, we all come to the same realization: you have to have a good plan and find the right tools and resources to achieve your goals.
Most new businesses fail because they run out of cash after getting too focused on their products and losing sight of the business behind the idea. If you aren’t fluent in business, Filip Keuppens recommends finding the right people to help you bring your products to market. He also believes in asking for support when you need it—because there are many successful entrepreneurs willing to give a helping hand to startups.
Filip Keuppens, the Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing at Pickle Juice® Sport, is Steve Cleere's guest in this week's episode of the NexxtLevel Podcast.
