Eight Ways To Respond To Negative Feedback  If you\'re getting negative feedback from a potential investor, you simply haven\'t shown them how your solution can solve the problem. You have to keep in mind that the customer and the problem are not very flexible, but your solution is. It\'s crucial to approach such feedback as an opportunity for refinement and improvement. To mitigate this, you should actively listen and respond from an authentic place that speaks to their concerns. Engage in open dialogue, ask probing questions to understand their reservations better and be willing to adapt your pitch or solution based on the insights gained.
