Mention the skills and contributions that made you successful at your previous work. The interviewer is looking for an answer that demonstrates your readiness for the job plus the facts to back it up.
For example, you could say, "In my previous job, I worked directly with customers and their problems. I was able to make a lot of friends and at the same time, promote our company's image by just being friendly and good at my job. I was often recognized by my boss for my ability to juggle multiple tasks and still produce excellent results."
