I have been in the contracting phase with an IMO for the past few weeks (Individual Health Ins). Most of the contracting invites came in the first week and about half of the appointments (sorry if I'm using the wrong terminology) have come back already. The others, when I go into their respective portals show in process.
However one of the big carriers has yet to send me an invite from the IMO. I have contacted the IMO a few times over the past couple of weeks and they keep saying "give it three or four more days..."
Because I'm an impatient person I went to that carriers website on my own and requested an independent agent contract and it came back within a couple of HOURS!
What would happen if I filled out the one from the carrier instead of waiting for one from the IMO? Would there be a way to add the IMO after getting contracted?
And I guess on the heals of that question I am curious how IMO's know who you are contracted with in general? Is there a report they get?
I am not wanting to do anything shady. I have no problem with the IMO being the upline. I'm just mostly curious about options and what is appropriate and not appropriate. TIA.
