Networking Guidance

For investment banking networking as a sophomore, if I establish a connection with an analyst by successfully talking with him/her on the phone for the first time and asking them all the typical networking questions for about an hour, how should I grow that connection? What does a follow-up email look like? What should I talk to them about in the next encounter? Lastly, how many phone conversations should I typically have with them?
