Phone Informational Interview

I'm having a phone informational interview with alumni who are an associate at a large PE firm and a Director at an elite boutique IB this week. What do you think is a good way to approach these calls? What are some good questions?

To give some perspective, I'm an upcoming sophomore.
What I want is to establish a relationship as well as trying to leverage these calls into an internship next summer ( I have one this summer).

Thanks for your advice.
