First Impression w/ senior firm member...

I have an upcoming phone conversation with a senior member of a respectable Boutique IB (MD,VP level). I am trying to secure a spring internship that I hope will become a summer offer. My question is what could I expect from the conversation? Should I try to turn it into a face to face meeting? This is my first conversation of this kind and I'm a little nervous; any tips or information is welcomed.

Some background info:
Junior year
no banking experience
3.8 gpa Major ~4.0(econ)
Non-target

Talk on the phone, have good things to ask about the firm, the position and what not. Ask some questions about what he does and what not, but I would try to leave the personal career stuff for the meeting/coffee/lunch date, def try and get face time. At that level, they really appreciate it a lot more than an email. In any event email
