Negative press can almost always be leveraged in a positive way. A poor review of your work could potentially attract curiosity and attention rather than deter it.
Businesses have been known to use negative reviews in their advertising. For example, restaurants might invite customers to try a dish that was poorly reviewed on Yelp, turning criticism into an opportunity.
While responding to negativity with positivity shouldn't encourage bad behavior, it may not always be detrimental as initially perceived. Sometimes such incidents can serve as blessings in disguise.
Consider Flamy Grant’s success story next time you receive a bad review.
