Do any of you suggest cold outreach to small firms to get an internship?

I have a list of a ton of firms that I've been cold reaching out to- typically the founder or an MD at the firm. I tell them my experiences and subtly ask if they ever offer an internship opportunities. Has anyone ever had success doing this, and if yes, do you have any suggestions for me on how I go about doing it?
