I'm sub-9 without knowing anything more than standard CFOP (full OLL and PLL).
Something that I've done a lot that I think has helped me quite a bit is simply doing slow, non-timed solves. I just play around and look for the most efficient way of doing things and in the process learn a lot.
Look ahead and transitions are probably the most significant things. For me, the difference between a good solve and a bad one is very often determined by whether or not I can figure out my cross + first F2L pair during inspection.
