How to respond to negative reviews?
Feedback is one of the rewards you get for your hard work, but that could be negative or positive. There are times that negative reviews teach you what you may have missed out on while doing your work, so let me explain how to respond to them.
People write negative reviews with many intentions:
- Correct your work
- They didn’t get what they wanted.
- Your job is good but needs a bit more attention.
- Do not care about the outcome.
People need negative reviews more than positive ones because it motivates them to work harder. Besides, they feel lower than the person who gave them the negative feedback if that was from one of the persons doing the same task. So, all that inspires them to work harder to achieve what they were supposed to do.
Sometimes positive reviews could not be the genuine feedback from the people who gave them; sometimes, they provide for a reason, maybe looking for a favor from the person who got the review.
The genuine bad review could be because of the real in you to help you improve your work after finding the mistakes where it needed correction, so that become a real help for you
It is why some people write negative reviews.
It comes out as a real help to progress in your field.
Some people feel that they could not do well in the same task that you have done, so your success made them think insufficient and lower than you; therefore, they were looking for a way to hurt you and used this opportunity to hurt you by giving the lousy review.
I have a business Facebook page where I publish new things in my business daily; some relatives of mine look at those who say that they do not have to prove themselves. They mean that they are doing well and do not have to send anything to demonstrate their capabilities like me. I look at that, and I feel sorry for them, thinking that they do not know what a business means and the things you must do to bring your business out to the world. I need to insist a business with no marketing is not a business but a hobby.
Some people feel worthless for no reason just because they have not seen success; they try to damage others by giving bad reviews. So, if you are a thoughtful person, you must ignore their bad attitude and make the best use of the bad review and learn your mistakes from there. I am not trying to say that it will not hurt you, but you must take its positive side to use it for yourself.
People out there feel jealous of successful people and try ways to put them down to make themselves happy. They do this expecting to ruin your happiness, but if you are a successful person having seen satisfaction and happiness in your work, do not ever get hurt by others’ opinions but take that as a lesson for you.
You have done something and published with the expectation of good reviews, so do you realize that itself a victory for you. Many of us cannot do to that extent even but staying in our comfort zone and looking to damage other hard workers by doing this way. So, you need to be happy and be proud of yourself, ignore the haters, and learn the good things from anyone as that is the only thing that will help you progress more and more in life.
Another way to make your hater happy is not showing your success in front of them wherever you happen to meet them.
Then it is the best way to keep away from negative people even though it might not be entirely possible you must try your best.
Then wait till your business becomes big enough to be unstoppable by haters, and when it goes beyond a high level, they will start to follow you and talk good about you everywhere to spread the word around about you.
