(I'm Southpaw, if it matters)

I've used a fake cross after the jab, during the hook conversion - just pump the cross a little. Seems to help sometimes.

Also, I've used the hook as more of a swipe to set up the cross after the jab (jab, 'hook', cross).

generally, the hook can be improved by getting your lead hand just outside their cover before starting the jab...

Hope these ideas are useful, although I'm not much of a boxer.
