How to end a Networking call

I always seem to have great networking calls with bankers – talking about more personal stuff such as similar book interests or hobbies and like to finish with one or two pointed questions at the end – but I can not figure out how to  succinctly end a networking call. It seems to be a little awkward at the end, or just not nearly as smooth as the conversation previously went.

Does anyone else seem to encounter this problem? Any advice or thoughts?
