From Fixed Income Research to Sales/Trading?

I will be in my second year as an associate this summer, doing fixed income research. I have a graduate degree in econ. The more I know the more I want to move to sales/trading. Any tips on how to do it? I love talking to people, the shorter hours, the money, the work enviroment, the whole 9 yards..... =)
