There's no doubt that negative online reviews discourage potential customers from buying a company's goods and/or services.  Exactly how much missed business a negative online review results in can't be determined. According to the same study, however, here's what the damage from negative reviews can cost a company in terms of missing out on potential customers.

1 negative result about your company or product: your company risks losing 22% of potential customers

3 negative results about your company or product: your company risks losing 59.2% of potential customers.

4 negative results about your company or product: risk losing 70% of potential customers.
