Switching sales desks?

How difficult is it to switch sales desk? I’m currently working in capital market(Derivate)  sales (we sell Fx,rates and MM to corporates) but would like to move to a proper sales desk (e.g. Fx, rates or sth like equity derivatives). Anyone has an insight how difficult it is to make the jump?
