What are your thoughts on this objection?
Bad salespeople do this, not good ones.
Good ones know the fastest way to put yourself out of business is to lie/cheat/steal from your customers.
I've never in my life seen someone I would consider a "great" salesperson force-feed their pipeline with shitty clients.
It's like purposefully causing yourself hours of pain tomorrow for a few bucks today. Some greedy newbies love this shit but a tried and true sales person knows it's pure folly. At most you'll see them stuff their pipe with a "bad" sales or two to get over a hump to hit a new milestone payment (only $1k away from a bonus, 12 hours to go, let's go pipe stuffing!) but nobody in their right mind wants that kind of future headache all month long with every client they meet.
A more practical answer to help prevent against this is to institute claw-backs. Salespeople get their commission but any cancellations / refunds / etc... in the following 3 month get paid back to the company in full. Now a bad sale is not only a bad idea, but it nets you nothing but the headaches.
