Moving from Finance to Enterprise Technology Sales

Currently a summer analyst in bulge bracket IBD.

Quickly realizing that a sales role is a far better fit for me than banking. Running around looking for potential sales prospects seems far more interesting to me than finding a novel way of estimating a company's cost of equity.

Any recommended sources for learning about enterprise technology sales, or sales careers in general?

All input is appreciated.
