    Me : Good Morning Madam
    VO : Your passport please..
    Me : handovered my passport
    VO : Purpose of your trip?
    Me : Requirements gathering.We have recently aquired a new client YYYY and I am going there to study their business requirement and to collect requirements and to attend technical discussions with their IT team.
    VO : which place r u going
    Me : Dayton, Ohio
    VO : did u traveled any other country?
    Me : No
    VO : whom do you work for?
    Me : ZZZ
    VO : are u married?
    Me : yes

    Me : One kid XX years old.
    VO : Your Client Name?
    Me : ZZZ

    VO : How long you are working in this company
    Me : 7 years
    VO : length of stay
    Me : 8 weeks
    VO : I dont think 8 weeks is necessary for business meetings..
    Me : Initially it was planned for 4 weeks later it was extended by 4 more weeks ..Our Client is doing CSO lending business and they have acquired two new CSO's and have to atend business meetings with them..
    VO : Can see your travel agenda..

    So you were clearly told that you cannot be given a B1 Visa for 8 weeks of US visit. Now you want to make plans of 4 weeks ? How will you justify your shortened duration ?
    Also, do not lie to the VO about the real reasons behind the refusal first time. They have all information with them and if you lie you may be rejected once again. Just be honest.
    I presume your company does not have prior experience of filing for B1. No one plans on more than 3 weeks or a month while applying on B1.
    You need to have your travel plan in place assuming your visa will be granted. Generally, people make plans of 3 or 4 weeks after interview date. Hotel/Flight bookings dont cost anything.
    Depending on which highly reputed MNC you may be working for, try reading this : https://www.immihelp.com/us-b-1-in-lieu-of-h-1b-visa/

    This is my opinion. Not a legal advice

      You should have detailed travel itinerary with you. Sort of like day 1 - meeting with xyz, day 2 - discussion with abc etc.
      This is my opinion and not legal advice.
