OneCoast Combines National Divisions
By Staff -- Gifts and Dec, 12/4/2008 9:35:00 AM
Pittsburgh, PA — Sales representative group OneCoast, which in October announced plans to expand its gift and lifestyle sales group into two national divisions, changed course in response to what vice president of marketing Jeremy Hirsch called the “tumultuous” economy.
Said Hirsch, “It became clear throughout the fall and when everything accelerated in October and November that we couldn’t have two teams and make sure both teams could make a decent living. So we had to make this adjustment and combine both lines. But the fallout was, some positions needed to be eliminated.” Hirsch declined to say how many positions were lost, but said it was fewer than 75. When asked whether OneCoast planned any further layoffs, he responded: “Our plan and our hope is that this is sufficient.”
The combined division will continue to operate under the name ND One, which recently added six vendors.
