EFactor adds Kevin Harrington to its roster of celebrity VIP members who address EFactor members through a series of educational webinars and live events exclusively for EFactor members.

"We are excited about the amount of valuable knowledge and leadership Kevin Harrington brings to our community. We think our members will truly benefit from an inspirational advisor like him," said Marion Freijsen, EFactor COO.

Registration for the event requires EFactor.com membership and additional registration on EFactor.com's event page.  

Separately, on August 19, 2013, EFactor will host entrepreneurs in an evening of networking, entertainment and education at the British Motor Car Distributors building in San Francisco, where Kevin Harrington will speak to attendees about positioning themselves as a key person of influence.  

"Many people think it takes years to become a key person in their field, but getting into the inner circle of your industry involves a different approach," says Harrington about EFactor's event, How to Become a Key Person of Influence.

Each registered ticket holder will be entered into a drawing to win a one-hour face-to-face meeting with Kevin Harrington and the unique opportunity to pitch their product to a "shark."
