Any tips for networking for ER?

I've been applying for 2021 SA  positions for equity research at many banks to small buy-side shops. I have a phone screening next week at one place, I couldn't find much about them but I've been going through their 10k form just so I don't come off clueless. 

Aside from that, I have a networking call with an alumnus at a very reputable bank so I was wondering if you all had some tips in general or things I should know prior heading into it. I have my story laid out very well for why I want to do ER, and have been reading about the industry so I feel I'm set on that end. 

For what it's worth I'm at a non-target so I feel networking is very crucial in general but I'm pretty excited to just learn more about what the associates do as well as the industry as a whole. The only issue is earnings season is in 2-3 weeks so I feel I need to reach out to everyone I can before October.
