You need to master your left hook technique at all ranges, short range, mid range and long range. There are key faults with the left hook that you need to avoid, trying to hit too hard, dropping the right hand and not engaging your legs with the punch.
Your left hook can be powered up by adding in a slip or an inside roll before the punch. Using one of these skills stores energy and leverage to really power up that left hook.
When striking the body with your left hook, your technique needs to ensure that the angle of the shot is the right one - you want the force of the punch to radiate through the opponent's body in the right way.
Doubling up your left hook is another key skill. You can double to the same target (head or body) or you can switch from one to the other. Think about using your slips when doubling up, this particular left hook technique is high energy and therefore needs to bring results.
Finally, my favourite ever left hook, the most perfect left hook technique I've ever seen in a boxing ring - Donald Curry vs Milton McCrory in December 1985. I have no other words other than to say this is the most awesome demonstration of left hook prowess I have ever seen. Here is the link:
