Skeptical Feedback

When someone tells you your idea is “interesting” but you know they don’t believe in it.

Early feedback can be deflating, but it’s an opportunity to refine your idea and your pitch.

Do This

  • Don’t Take it Personally: Separate genuine feedback from knee-jerk reactions.
  • Dig Deeper: Ask “Why?” to uncover their real concerns.
  • Reframe Your Pitch: Address potential objections head-on.
  • Find Your Champions: Focus on those who DO see the potential.

Not everyone will ‘get it’ at first. Use feedback to strengthen your idea and target the right audience.
