IB Associate to Sales

I’m a current post-mba associate and have realized that the portion of IB I like is the relationship management. I realize that eventually that’s the whole job but I don’t see myself sticking it out to MD. I think I’d like to pivot to a sales role. Has anyone else done this? What do you sell? I’ve thought about s&t or asset management sales but I’m not sure how hard that pivot would be.
