This applies to everything you do which depends on review.
Want a particular job? Put in more effort than everyone else. Create a ‘I want to work for you’ website. Be prepared at the interview. Understand everything about the organisation. Quote its founders.
Want to have your paper accepted? Do a little research about what they are looking for. Contact the reviewers directly and ask for help. Get your article reviewed by people who have been accepted previously.
Want to have your RFQ response win? Read the requirements carefully. Make the reviewers jobs very easy. Address criteria directly and clearly. Ask questions.
I am consistently surprised by how little effort the average person puts in to any reviewed endeavour. It really doesn’t take that much effort to stand out.
