Building relationships - Analyst at a top BB

so i had a really good conversation with an analyst at a top BB at my school's career fair. im a sophomore, i know i had pretty much no chance of getting the internship, but i got her email address and sent her an email asking to set up a call.

i have a call with her later this afternoon, and i plan on just asking her more about her job, her group, the culture at the firm, and what i need to do to be a competitive candidate junior year.

does anyone have any other tips on how to build a lasting relationship with this contact? what can i say to impress her and keep in touch with her through next year when im applying for junior year internships?

thanks

the best thing i found to do, ask for a good book to read about the industry, go read it, that way they will never forget who you are, because people rarely ask them this type of question, and just by referring about the book in later engagements and how you enjoyed it, they will remember you and always have a face for your name.
