How do I explain a layoff in interviews? - 12 months and counting

I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a sales associate. I also do not want to seem like a risk. What do you say?

I keep it to two sentences: the company cut my team, and here is what I am proud of and what I am looking for next.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
