PITTSBURGH, PA – 06/01/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – In an era dominated by inbox overload and automated workflows, business conversations are increasingly slowing rather than advancing outcomes. Addressing this challenge, Dr. Connor Robertson has released The 7 Minute Phone Call, a new book that reframes how entrepreneurs and business leaders approach communication when progress stalls and opportunities begin to fade.
Rather than relying on extended email exchanges or unanswered follow-ups, the book advocates for short, intentional phone conversations designed to restore clarity and momentum. Drawing on Robertson’s experience across real estate transactions, hospitality operations, and private equity acquisitions, The 7 Minute Phone Call presents a repeatable framework that prioritizes speed, focus, and respect for time.
The central premise is straightforward: brief, well-structured calls resolve confusion faster than written communication. Robertson outlines how professionals can prepare for these conversations, identify the real objective of the call, and conclude with a single, clearly defined next step. The approach avoids scripts, sales pressure, or jargon, making it accessible to a wide range of professionals who need decisions to move forward efficiently.
The book was developed in response to observable shifts in modern business communication. As text-based tools have replaced direct conversations, many professionals hesitate to make calls—even when doing so would save hours or days. The 7 Minute Phone Call challenges this pattern, positioning phone-based communication as a practical and often underutilized tool for accelerating deal timelines and strengthening professional relationships.
This release follows Robertson’s 2024 publication, Buying Wealth, which focused on acquisitions and real estate strategy. Together, the two books reflect a broader emphasis on execution, efficiency, and decision-making in complex business environments.
Within the Pittsburgh business community, Robertson is recognized for maintaining momentum across multiple concurrent deals. Feedback and recurring questions from local entrepreneurs played a key role in shaping the frameworks presented in the book. He now teaches these methods in live sessions, enabling participants to apply the techniques immediately.
Beyond deal acceleration, The 7 Minute Phone Call addresses relationship management, particularly how to reengage contacts who have gone silent. The book explains how to determine when a call is appropriate, what information to review beforehand, and how to structure conversations that create progress without forcing outcomes. The objective is not immediate closure, but sustained momentum that leads to results over time.
Robertson also draws on operational experience managing more than one hundred short-term rental properties through Hedge Management. He illustrates how brief calls resolved contractor delays, clarified seller expectations, and reopened negotiations that had stalled through email. Similar principles are applied to boutique hospitality transactions, where verbal communication often uncovers critical details absent from listings and prevents costly misunderstandings.
In private equity, particularly within debt-based acquisition strategies, the book highlights how concise phone conversations help build trust, clarify complex structures, and align expectations with business owners. The communication framework is positioned as adaptable across industries where timing, clarity, and trust are essential.
Throughout the book, several consistent principles are reinforced: know the purpose of the call, respect the other party’s time, communicate clearly, and end with one defined next step. These fundamentals make the framework practical and universally applicable.
The 7 Minute Phone Call consolidates years of hands-on experience into a single resource. Dr. Connor Robertson has indicated that additional publications focused on business communication and operational efficiency are currently in development.
