What makes Glengarry Glen Ross' dialogue so good?

I've been hearing a lot of praise about Glengarry Glen Ross, especially regarding its dialogue. But what makes it so amazing? I imagine having fine thespian actors spell out those lines in a believable way helps, but the words, the lines themselves have to be believable and effective in the first place. So how did they do it?

Glengarry Glen Ross is a 1992 American drama film adapted by David Mamet from his 1984 Pulitzer Prize–winning play Glengarry Glen Ross, and directed by James Foley. The film depicts two days in the lives of four real estate salesmen, and their increasing desperation when the corporate office sends a motivational trainer to threaten them that all but the top two salesmen will be fired within two weeks.
