You Get Five Minutes. What Will You Do With Them?
Most business conversations are lost before they even begin. We talk too much, sell too soon, or stumble through awkward small talk—wasting the most critical moments of any interaction.
But what if you had a proven plan to leverage those first five minutes instead of losing them?
In The 1st 5 Minutes, business connections expert Bryan Paul Buckley offers a simple, repeatable framework to turn every business conversation into a powerful connection.
Whether you’re an extrovert who talks too much or an introvert who freezes up, this book shows you exactly what to say—and when.
Inside, You'll Discover How to:
- Read the Room and begin with confidence using intel and observation
- Nail names and never forget them again
- Ask, Listen, and Learn to build trust and immediate connection
- Surface real problems without sounding pushy or transactional
- Carry the conversation beyond the opener for lasting influence
Stop winging it. Start winning it.
Because the long-term relationship matters more than the short-term sale—and it all starts in the first five minutes.

for the
Book
Having had the privilege of working with Bryan for almost a decade, I can honestly say he is a master at developing and fostering meaningful business relationships.
Bryan Buckley you knocked the ball out the park with Elite Business Connector. One of the best business books I’ve ever read in my business career.
What sets this book apart is its unique blend of real-world examples, hands-on exercises, and thought-provoking analysis. Bryan wrote the guide for developing and mastering business social skills.
A great read and one that felt effortless. There are few books you can pick up, read within a few sessions, retain the informative information, and then immediately implement into your daily life thanks to Bryan's writing style which is engaging and accessible.
This book was an effortless read. His written communication is funny and conversational. You feel like you’re sitting at a dinner table with him talking with Bryan vs. reading words on a page. He clearly defines what a TRUE connection looks and feels like.
Whether you’re extroverted (like Bryan) or introverted (like me), or somewhere in-between, Bryan’s techniques can help us all reach REAL lasting connections.
