The latter include greater localization - Salesforce must gear its approach more towards local conditions, as social networks are used differently depending on the geographical area.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the German public is more sensitized to the issue of data protection than Anglo-Saxon countries. In certain countries (e.g. Russia and China), Salesforce has to work with local networks that may be more popular than <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-vnwivdr27pi7xx1q7atntgmdczhz1tew\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Facebook<\/span> or <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-fj7likehp8i2wddvbyoypu5zo0crhdct\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-organization\">Twitter<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>To be successful, Salesforce must also address a new group of buyers: the marketing department. The provider must therefore expand its (already extensive) partner channel.<\/p>\n<p>In order to reach CMOs, Salesforce must work with new partners such as creative and advertising agencies in addition to traditional system integrators.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Vertical specialization<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In terms of opportunities, vertical specialization should help Salesforce to differentiate itself in the long term, as <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-msteo97koby09btyvdyyjm75kstdw1u6\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Customers<\/span> from different industries different <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-satsncwlswh9c71cw9spbmgod2s89iid\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Marketing<\/span>-metrics and requirements or are subject to different regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Salesforce could also realize the potential of its <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-ejxmgeym7eqngwehhd7fbq97puou95w2\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Marketing<\/span>-The company could also explore analytics capabilities beyond the marketing department, for example by asking what Human Resources or other departments could use the analytics tools for.
