I'm assuming you have snipped the priorities 1 and 2.

exten => s,3,BackGround(welcome)
exten => s,4,ResponseTimeout,15
exten => t,1,Goto(1,1)

Description
ResponseTimeout(seconds)

Set the maximum amount of time permitted after falling through a series 
of priorities for a channel in which the user may begin typing an 
extension. If the user does not type an extension in this amount of 
time, control will pass to the 't' extension if it exists, and if not, 
the call would be terminated.

If ResponseTimeout is not explicitly set in an extension, the default 
value of 15 seconds will be used.

I'm trying to implement ResponseTimeout to give a customer a few extra
seconds before ringing the phone.  But it doesn't work or I'm doing it
the wrong way.

exten => s,3,BackGround(welcome) 
exten => s,4,ResponseTimeout,15
exten => s,5,Goto(1,1)

After playing "welcome" message it goes straight to 1,1 and ring the
phone.
How do I pause for 15sec and give customer some time to enter an option?

You have misunderstood how ResponseTimeout works. It does not delay 
between priorities, it controls the amount of time the caller will have 
after the last priority is executed before Asterisk jumps to the "t" 
(timeout) priority.

A simple fix would be:

exten => s,3,ResponseTimeout(15)
exten => s,4,Background(welcome)

exten => t,1,Goto(1,1)
