Soft pound deals - haggle for extras
Unless you are in a very powerful haggling position - this might not be the best time to negotiate your salary or fees.
Now is the time to do barter or swap transactions. Do things that you are an expert at, in return for something that is valuable to you from the other side.
If you are in salaried employment this could be having extra study leave, your company paying for extra training which will benefit both of you. More flexi-time etc etc
When you are doing this do not forget the usual rules of haggling / negotiation. Build rapport first, ask gentle teaser questions, come out with your proposition, back off if its no and re-ask later coming from another angle once you have found out where the company is coming from.
If you don't ask you don't get
