Best way to end a networking call?

Over time I feel like I’m getting better at networking calls. Its starting to get easier to build connections with the people and have genuine conversations. The most awkward part to every call though is the end. The last thing I want to do is end the calls on a bad/awkward note. What are some polite ways that you guys end your networking calls?

 

What's the best way to ask for the "push"? On the first networking call I usually ask if they have anyone else I could speak with but is it okay to ask if they can put me in touch with someone on the recruiting side?

 

If there's a lull and you've asked your qeuestions / feel like you've stayed your visit enough, then say: "Alright, Johnny, thank you for answering my questions and providing me with a lot of helpful information about the firm. I'm really excited about this group and think it would be a great fit for me. Is there anyone you recommend I talk to get a different perspective?"

Analyst says something positive and that he'll hook you up.

"Thanks, Johnny, really appreciate the time you took out of your busy schedule to talk to me. Will for sure keep in touch. Have a great day. Bye."

Right after that, the analyst should say "Bye" as well and then you take your finger and hit the red phone button that is horizontally down.
