What constitutes a "solid" networking chat?

Do you know what constitutes a solid networking chat? I had thought I'd had a good conversation with a lot of analysts at some banks, but then they ghost me when I follow up for a second chat. Am I now back to the drawing board? How am I expected to know if a chat went well?
