When To Reach Back Out For Referrals

Hi all, wanted to hear your perspective on this. What would the most appropriate response be after getting off of a call and someone offers to refer you to any firms in their network? Should I wait a couple of months to circle back or immediately ask in the thank you email for SA 2024 roles. Thanks a ton!

So just essentially have a 5 minute call? Tough situation because they offered but I don’t want it to seem like I’m using them too much.
