From the very first day an intelligence officer begins his training, he is primed on how to become the best salesperson in the world. If an intelligence officer doesn’t close a deal, he might end up getting killed or spending the rest of his life inside a foreign prison. Treason, which is generally defined as betraying one’s country, is a pretty tough item to sell, particularly because the punishment for it is unforgiving. Punishments for treason throughout the world have also included being hanged, beheaded, burned at the stake, or, more commonly today, life imprisonment. Just remember (as any spy will tell you), being completely self-serving often results in a failed operation, so make sure you aren’t using this for inappropriate purposes.
