How to follow up with a contact?

I'm a first year student that is interested in IB. I contacted and talked by phone with a couple of investment bankers and fund managers to recieve information about the industry and 'network'. How and when should you follow up after a call? Even of you dont know what to say, just to keep contact? As Im first year of a 4 year degree, I didnt ask for internships or referals yet, because I dont qualify until next year. But what should I say?
