Description
Question
Recommendation (500 words)
Present a marketing recommendation that directly addresses the identified challenges. Explain why this recommendation is essential and how it will help Proximie achieve its growth objectives. Use relevant frameworks to justify how the recommended strategy will support Proximie’s marketing goals and position the company effectively within its industry.
Solution
Recommendation
In order to respond to the identified Marketing challenges, Proximie should employ a Regionalised Marketing Strategy (Yeung, 2020). This approach entails customising marketing and partnerships as per particular geographic and economic regions, thereby making Proximie able to more effectively position itself in a competitive global healthcare landscape. This strategy can focus on various initiatives such as:
Customised Marketing Campaigns
The regionalised marketing strategy could focus on creating region-specific compelling marketing campaigns which aligns with local healthcare demands as well as cultural context. The segmentation of the market and its targeting and positioning can be done in Proximie by using STP (Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning) framework (Correia & Rodrigues, 2023). For example, in low resource countries such as the US, Proximie can focus on technology that is pioneering and outcomes that are proven with leading health institutions. On the contrary, for low and middle income countries the company should focus on the accessibility, and to carry on in low bandwidth. This approach solves the economic and social challenges pointed out earlier in the PESTLE analysis, which makes Proximie be relevant and valuable to different settings.

- This was established after the post-negotiation review which brought out fundamental lessons about the supplier and our company’s negotiation pattern.
- As for certain important aspects, we indeed secured favourable financing conditions; yet, problems arose in attempting to synchronize delivery schedules since such conditions are affected by external supply chain factors.
- The supplier had the better BATNA and acted in a cooperative but very assertive way, and elaborated why the correct approach to negotiations is more equal.
- Further, the experience showed how flexible one has to be, how innovative, and how it pays to be more interested in long-term partnership rather than quick profit. Therefore, it will be useful in the future to improve the techniques of negotiation, improve the knowledge about the actions of suppliers, and improve intercompany and supplier cooperation.
- This will ensure that in future procurement negotiations; better outcomes are achieved.

This approach will help secure more balanced and sustainable agreements.
