Sorry this is long (and a little rambling...)
Is it normal to talk to one IMO and then when it comes time to contract end up contracting through a different one?
I am brand new (got my license Friday) and really don't know what I don't know.
I contacted an imo a couple of weeks ago and spoke with their ACA onboarding person. It sounded good and he sent me all the info about what I would need to do in order to move forward after I got my license.
Saturday I followed the link he sent to get contacted, that link took me to a page that had the original companies name "in partnership with enrollinsurance.com" everything in that process continued to say the original companies name.
Today I start getting carrier contracts from a THIRD company. From what I gather this third company is the parent/sister company to Enroll.
I guess my question is who am I really doing business with? The original company, Enroll, or the sister company?
I am also concerned about this because I was under the impression (again I'm new and don't know anything, literally) that independent agents got paid by the carriers DIRECTLY, but at least two of the carrier contracts I looked at today were explicitly paid by the imo (which one I have no idea, see above ).
Am I being overly cautious or should I cut and run?
The reason I went with the original company to start with is that it had a good reputation on here and elsewhere and seemed like it had a reliable system in place for the kind of sales I wanted to do. Now I am unsure of who I am dealing with and what their reputation is like and have no idea what system they are offering.
I tried emailing and calling the onboarding person I originally spoke with but haven't heard back yet.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
