Advice; Networking Call with Director at BB

Hey everybody! 

Have a networking call with a director of trading for a credit product (HY/LL). Sent a cold email and he was very nice in his reply and open to chat with me. He asked me to sent him my resume, which I didn't expect already, but we were in the same frat at different schools. I work in sales side for a regional dealer covering various credit products and have only been in this role for about 1.5 years, but was looking to break into a trading seat at a BB

Usually the end goal is to get him to ask for my resume, but since he already did. Just wanted to see how other people networking calls have gone? Some do's and don'ts, general advice, etc. Just don't want to bomb a good opportunity that's important to me. 

Cheers!
