B1 visa got rejected under 214(b)
I had B1 interview on 20th July 2017.
VO - Passport please.
Me - Good morning, provided the passport
VO - Which organization are you working for?
Me - X company (took the first name)
VO - Excuse me.
Me - Complete name of my company
VO - Tell me more about your company
Me - Was not expecting this question. So, fumbled and started and then he moved to the next question, Did not get an opportunity to complete the description of my company profile.
VO - How long will you be traveling?
Me - 1-2 weeks...approximately
VO: Where will you be traveling?
Me: Campbell
VO: California?
Me: Yes, Sir
VO: Did you travel to the US before?
Me: No
VO: What's your monthly income?
Me: 45k
I am sorry, your visa is not approved. Gave a blue form 214(b), ticking the first box and passport has been returned to me.
Me: Thank you, Sir.
The reason mentioned in the form is as follows:

Dear Applicant,
This is to inform you that, you have been found ineligible for a nonimmigrant visa under Section 214(b) of the US immigration and nationality Act. A denial under this section means that you were not able to demostrate that your intended activities in the US would be consistent with the classification of the nonimmigrant visa for which you applied.

While nonimmigrant visa classifications each have their own unique requirements, one requirement shared by many of the nonimmigrant visa categoriesis for the applicant to demonstrate that he/she has a residence in a foreign country which he/she has no intention of abandoning. Applicants usually meet this requirementby demonstrating that they have strong ties overseas that indidate that they will return to a foreign country after a temporary visit to the US. Such ties include professional, work, school, family, or social links to a foreign country. You have not demonstrated that you have the ties that will compel you to return to your home country after your travel to the US.

My question is, how do I demonstrate that I have the ties that will compel me to return to my home country after my travel to the US. I did not get such questions to demonstrate. Questions like, are you married ( I am married which reflects in my passport).

I will be reapplying for my visa in next 1-2 weeks. Please please help.
