Artist Development

Thanks for the comments in advance! I need to pick your brain a bit! I recently had a Exec Producer offer to work with me, stating he would contribute by helping me in artist development and that he has connections to help me tour overseas. I am interested, but have a bit of concern. Seems to be a lot of talk with no action, if you will. Is it normal for a EP with a label to ask an indie artist with following (me) to "tag" their company in all post on social, and to send all inquiries for bookings of any sort to him without a contract or first delivering on some of the promises? He also has a talent management company, which my brand is ready for, but his talent doesn't have the presence I've established all on my own in the last year. I just don't know how to vet people like this. This is my 3rd exec who's proposed working with me after discovering me online.
