Ask for refferal?

Hi, I recently spoke to an MD earlier, who was telling me I should cast a wider nest (that I should look into BO/MO if IB doesn't work out) He also said i'm better off talking with analyst since the process has changed, Do you think I should ask him to refer me to an analyst of his when I send my thank you email for speaking with me, or should I wait a week or so before I make the ask?

Please help..
